I think there is an error. Indeed : How could this plane be taken on charge in 4/54 and already be in service with 10 W 31 Sqn in 6/52?

For 1997, a T-33A bearing the USAF No. 53-5725 is exhibited in the Yelsilkoi (Ankara) Museum in Turkey, but the authenticity of this number is not sure.

can send you a picture (of me) standing in front of FT 38 at Bierset in 1969 before a low level flight to Helgoland. I was a guest passenger and pilot was a Sgt Anys (?) I'm not sure of the name.
